Scientists at Stanford Medicine have discovered a treatment that can reverse cartilage loss in aging joints and even prevent arthritis after knee injuries. By blocking a protein linked to aging, the ...

Scientists have developed a new bioactive material that successfully regenerated high-quality cartilage in the knee joints of a large-animal model. New material comprises peptides, proteins and ...

Osteoarthritis is a highly prevalent joint disease that leads to cartilage breakdown, pain and disability, yet there are ...

A microscropy image of the new biomaterial. Nanofibers are pink; hyaluronic acid is shown in purple. (Samuel I. Stupp/Northwestern University) (CN) — Scientists at Northwestern University created a ...

Two innovative new developments out of the same laboratory have demonstrated that degraded cartilage can be repaired and regrown, first by using "dancing molecules" to target the proteins needed for ...

An injection that blocks the activity of a protein involved in aging reverses naturally occurring cartilage loss in the knee joints of old mice, a Stanford Medicine-led study has found. The treatment ...

Scientists at Duke University have developed a gel-based material that could serve as a replacement for knee cartilage. This innovative substitute is not only stronger but also more durable than ...

Northwestern University scientists have developed a cell-free bioactive material comprising a complex network of molecular components that work together as a scaffold to mimic cartilage’s natural ...

A ‘dancing molecule’ therapy, which was previously used to reverse paralysis after spinal cord injury, has now been applied to damaged human cartilage cells, demonstrating its regenerative effect.
